Fact-Checking Tucker Carlson's False Claim on Biden Administration and Ukraine Aid: Global Ramifications and Year-End Panic
Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin fact-checked her former colleague Tucker Carlson's claim about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, stating that Carlson's characterization of Austin's remarks is "100 percent not true." Griffin cited two unnamed sources who attended the briefings, clarifying that Austin warned about the potential consequences of Putin's actions in Ukraine and the possibility of US troops being called to fight if he enters NATO territory. This is not the first time Griffin has fact-checked her Fox News colleagues, and Carlson has previously criticized her as a "so-called reporter" and accused her of spreading lies on behalf of the Pentagon and CIA.
